Chapter 621: Earth Dragon Liberation (I)
Downcast chants echoed in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. This incantation was not from anyone of Bright Glimmer of Hope, and came with surges of earth elemental fluctuations.
Not far from the group, four figures were seated in a circle. Three of them formed a triangle, with the last one sitting in the center and chanting.
Red, blue, green and yellow colored figures emitted different light, coming from the four holy guards that Long Haochen had obtained inside this Tower of Eternity.
The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth occupied three angles, and the soulfire in their eyes pulsed violently. The air surrounding the Ninth Holy Guard seated in the middle also pulsed violently, and his body started to look incorporeal.
The three Great Holy Guards were pouring their soul force into the Ninth Holy Guard, helping him complete his spell.The latter held in his hand a fist-sized white jewel, into which an incredible amount of earth essence was poured from his own body.
Long Haochen was waiting for him, and the same went for everyone present. This mission couldn’t take long, they had to go in and out from Modu Core City like a breeze for this to succeed.
To unleash a forbidden spell in Modu was no different than looking for death. Even an ordinary Moon Demon would be able to sense waves of spiritual energy of such degree, so the incantation had to be completed there. Also, the gem in the hands of the Ninth Holy Guard was not obtained from any Bright Glimmer of Hope member but from Yue Ye. This was a crucial part of their plan.
Zhang Fangfang said, “It’s about time. Get ready everyone, Haochen should pretty much be back if everything goes as planned.” With Cai’er in her amnesic state, Zhang Fangfang, being the oldest one here, temporarily commanded Bright Glimmer of Hope.
Sima Xian pulled onto the dark golden chains, pulling the Energetic Ball of Light close. Lifting it, he placed it above his arm and the others also took out their own weapon, calmly standing in wait.
As the chant of the Ninth Holy Guard became increasingly louder, one could clearly see that colorless crystal turn yellow. The powerful waves of spiritual energy distorted the air violently, as that substantial looking earth essence was poured out at a frightening speed.
The four holy guards’ joint strength was sufficient to use a forbidden-spell grade spell. As the Tower of Eternity had obtained so much soul force, they also gained a huge boost in strength.
Right at this time, Long Haochen reappeared in front of his comrades in a flash of golden light. He remained silent, and immediately looked at the four holy guards.
The Ninth Holy Guard was finally reaching the last juncture of his incantation. His high-pitched incantation could be heard reverberating through the whole Tower of Eternity.
Long Haochen had a very severe look. Saying he had no feelings of anxiousness was impossible. To brave rain and wind in Modu Capital and aim against the Star Demon God’s demon god pillar was their bold plan, and this was more than enough to astonish anyone. This was undoubtedly the hardest and most dangerous mission they had had up to now. By chance, the existences of the Tower of Eternity and Eternal Melody made the mission feasible, otherwise they would not even dare think of such a thing.
At last, the resounding chanting sounds came to a stop, and in the midst of an intense knocking of the air, the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth holy guards collapsed. Just a bit was left of the soulfires in their eyes, while the Ninth Holy Guard was bursting in yellow light and vigor while pouring the last bits of earth essence frantically into that crystal.
One could clearly see that around that crystal drifted some complex patterns. Just by looking, one could already feel how frantic all the energy stockpiled inside was.
The yellow light vanished suddenly, as all traces of magic disappeared at once, poured inside that crystal. The whole crystal turned into a solemn yellow color, and dispersed some faint traces of dark golden brilliance.
The Ninth Holy Guard handed his crystal to Long Haochen. Both his hands were really shaking, making the consumption extremely visible.
Long Haochen took the crystal and gave him a nod, after which the Ninth Holy Guard immediately sat cross-legged, silently recovering from his massive consumption of spiritual energy.
Long Haochen looked back at the group, nodding to everyone, then flashed in golden light and disappeared once again from the group’s field of view.
The others from Bright Glimmer of Hope all understood that from this instant, their plan was formally launched. They all had coinciding feelings of anxiousness and an indescribable excitement that mostly hid it.
Long Haochen reappeared in a corner of the Moon Demon Palace without a sound. His tiptoes tapping lightly on the ground, he didn’t put any of his spiritual energy to use, only borrowing his body’s strength to send himself aloft.
